Package: Stellarium for Java

Overview
Stellarium for Java is the Java version of Stellarium, an open source software that uses OpenGL to display 3D skies in real time. It shows things like stars, constellations, and planets.
Prime Directive 1
The functionality that Stellarium for Java provides is the same as Stellarium in that it can render the images in real time. The only difference is that Stellarium for Java uses the Java platform. Stellarium is also being used in planetariums.
Prime Directive 2
Downloading and installing Stellarium for Java was easy even for non-developers of the system like myself. After downloading the package it was easily installed with a single click. There are some requirements before installing the program such as certain versions of Java. However, there are links on the same download page on where to download these requirements.
Prime Directive 3
An external developer can also successfully understand and enhance the system. The source code is provided on the download page and the complete javadocs can be found on the development page.
